The Chrome Synths of Chromeo - Mystery Clavia Nord Synth?

See the update in this post for more pics and the video. via Kurt Stenzel on Facebook.

Anyone place what looks like a Clavia / Nord synth with two mod wheels? Not the leads, wave, modular, stage or electro. What's left?

It looks like a Nord Modular G2 with the four screens, but with an extra octave and horizontal pitch and mod wheels.

Update: the answer is in the comments below.  They might be the ones in this post back in 2011.  Funny how you forget things...

Oh yeah, and thanks to Cuckoo for the the synth patches and general inspiration."

Improvisation 1973

Published on Apr 13, 2014 mcmike100·24 videos

"This is an improvisation I recorded in early 1973 with a piano and modular Moog synthesizer. The video graphics were created with Vovoid's VSXu software, set on one pattern."

via Michael McRoberts on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge: "I didn't have a multitrack recorder then, so this was recorded using sound-on-sound on a stereo recorder, where you bounce back and forth. And, of course, all played live."

This is pretty amazing. Realize the only synth manufacturers in the US at the time were Moog, Buchla, Arp and EML. Serge formed in 1974 and Oberheim formed in 1969 had not yet released his 1st synth, the SEM, which came out in 1974. Japan had Roland, Korg and Yamaha. Roland's SH-3 & SH-1000 came out in 1973 (list of Roland products on Wikipedia). The MiniKORG came out in 1973 (list of Korg products on Wikipedia). Yamaha's first synth the GX-1 came out in 1973 (list of Yamaha products on Wikipedia).
